Hubcaps with pinstripe whitewalls are great.

The other is the ride,
Steel rims are made of "spring" steel and flex more, The "Bundts" are a rigid casting and slightly different ride.
Weight saving/loss is negligible.

Thanks Brian
I agree with the whitewall/ steel combo... but I like the Bundt.

Can anyone tell the correct rim size for my 1971 300SEL 3.5 ?
The current steel rim has the number 6Jx 14H2 , offset 120mm and the tires are almost new.
So I want to keep my tires and just change the rims.
